π₯ See history come to life β Experience a local Indigenous legend around the fire and watch how pioneers boiled sap into syrup.
πͺ£ Get hands-on β Try carrying sap buckets, take part in a tree-tapping demo, and discover how much sap it takes to make syrup.
π§ Discover modern maple-making β See our network of sap lines and learn how todayβs technology brings syrup from tree to tank.
π Be sure to ask your guide any maple-related questions that come to mind!
Maple Taffy on Snow
Possibly the best part of the entire tourβ¨
Taffy on snow is a Canadian rite of passage. Line up as we heat our maple syrup in a cast iron pot over an open flame. Breathe in the deep, rich aroma of Pure Maple Syrup, steaming from the pot as it transforms into warm, oozy taffy.
Licking the finished, soft, amber candy off its stick is arguably the best part of your visit to the farm.
